Question : What is your ruling on getting one's work done through bribery?

Answer : Bribery is haram in Islam.

Does this ruling apply to the conditions in Tanzania?

[smak786110]

Well...I dont know exactly but I think mostly if your work is done without bribing thn you should do it.....
But if ur work is stuck and cant continue thn i think its allowed

AM NOT SURE about this, its just wht i think !!!

[Muhammad Mahdi]

from what i remember from one of the Q and A arranged during ramadhan,one is allowed to bribe in non islamic governments, ecxept of course the judge or jury

[maz]

S a
Bribing as per islam is only used for getting decisions made in ones favour in the court of law
Giving money for eg to lets say a govt official to get ur work done faster is not considered a bribe whether its allowed or not is a different matter

[abuali]

hmm interesting ...

this definition of bribing...any references for it?

[maz]

[Muhammad]

yup...just confirming what has been said.
bribery in islam is that which is given in court so that a verdict should b passed in your favour..
